[ec2] RFC: Amazon Web Services client libraries

[Dav Clark]

I don't know if these belong on a standard image or not... so I  
figured I'd offer these for discussion:

StarCluster is a (fairly young) project for dynamically creating a  
cluster with support for Sun Grid Engine and OpenMPI:

http://web.mit.edu/starcluster/

txAWS is an asyncronous python lib for using various features of AWS.  
Not as complete AWS feature coverage as boto (which I suppose is the  
reigning champ for python + AWS), but perhaps more useful for some  
applications:

https://launchpad.net/txaws

(txAWS has very little web presence right now)

Should I just put these on the wiki? Star-cluster in particular  
doesn't really fit into that table.
